Rare Chinese character 𮗩

5946/7473

𮗩 is a rare historical Chinese character tied to pottery and building contexts. A dialect glossary records 㼶 or 㼡 as regional names for a jar. Other entries use 𮗩 for roof tiles and translucent shell window panes.

Text symbol

What 𮗩 means

It names a vessel in one record and building materials in others. Yang Xiong’s Han-dynasty dialect glossary 方言 (Fāngyán) lists 㼶 or 㼡 as local names for 罃, a jar, in the Chen, Wei, Song, and Chu region. A Qing-era reference writes 𮗩 for the first name, so the spellings vary by source.

The Song dynasty building manual Yingzao Fashi (營造法式) uses 𮗩瓦 in roof-tile instructions. A 1931 local gazetteer uses 𮗩瓦 as a name for 明瓦: translucent oyster-shell sheets fitted into windows in place of glass. Context changes the material.

Why does 𮗩 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
